58e4d26648 "IO" -> "System".
Get rid of the separate opt-in IO class and replace it with a core
System class.

- Remove wren_io.c, wren_io.h, and io.wren.
- Remove the flags that disable it.
- Remove the overloads for print() with different arity. (It was an
  experiment, but I don't think it's that useful.)
- Remove IO.read(). That will reappear using libuv in the CLI at some
  point.
- Remove IO.time. Doesn't seem to have been used.
- Update all of the tests, docs, etc.

I'm sorry for all the breakage this causes, but I think "System" is a
better name for this class (it makes it natural to add things like
"System.gc()") and frees up "IO" for referring to the CLI's IO module.

71ab3ca887 Use "construct" instead of "this" to define constructors. 2015-07-21 07:24:53 -07:00
5fb6186d7d Make constructors just methods.
* Eliminate "new" reserved word.
* Allow "this" before a method definition to define a constructor.
* Only create a default constructor for classes that don't define one.

a8ea2a91a6 Use deferred execution for Sequence.map and Sequence.where
The methods Sequence.map and Sequence.where are now implemented using
deferred execution. They return an instance of a new Sequence-derived
class that performs the operation while iterating. This has three main
advantages:

* It can be computationally cheaper when not the whole sequence is
  iterated.

* It consumes less memory since it does not store the result in a newly
  allocated list.

* They can work on infinite sequences.

Some disadvantages are:

* Iterating the returned iterator will be slightly slower due to
  the added indirection.

* You should be aware that modifications made to the original sequence
  will affect the returned sequence.

* If you need the result in a list, you now need to call Sequence.list
  on the result.
